DEVICES AND METHODS FOR VERIFYING A SAMPLE VOLUME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050001 titled 'DEVICES AND METHODS FOR VERIFYING A SAMPLE VOLUME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for verifying the volume of a sample, specifically bodily fluid, using a sample reservoir and a volumetric verification device. The sample reservoir has an inner volume and contains an additive. The volumetric verification device includes two indicators and is designed to engage with the sample reservoir.

  • The first indicator is placed in a position along the sample reservoir that aligns with the surface or meniscus of the additive.
  • The second indicator is placed in a position along the sample reservoir that aligns with a predetermined fill volume when bodily fluid is transferred to the inner volume.

Potential Applications:

  • Medical diagnostics: This system can be used in medical settings to accurately measure and verify the volume of bodily fluid samples, ensuring accurate diagnostic results.
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing: The system can be utilized in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes to verify the volume of liquid samples, ensuring precise formulation and quality control.

Problems Solved:

  • Inaccurate volume measurement: The system solves the problem of inaccurate volume measurement by providing a reliable method to verify the volume of a sample.
  • Quality control: The system helps in maintaining quality control by ensuring that the correct volume of sample or additive is present.

Benefits:

  • Accuracy: The system provides accurate volume verification, reducing errors in sample analysis and manufacturing processes.
  • Efficiency: By automating the volume verification process, the system saves time and effort compared to manual measurement methods.
  • Quality assurance: The system ensures that the correct volume of sample or additive is present, improving the reliability and consistency of test results or manufacturing processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system for verifying a sample volume includes a sample reservoir and a volumetric verification device. the sample reservoir defines an inner volume and is configured to receive a volume of bodily fluid. the inner volume of the sample reservoir contains an additive. the volumetric verification device includes a first indicator and a second indicator. the volumetric verification device is configured to selectively engage the sample reservoir to (1) place the first indicator in a first position along a length of the sample reservoir such that the first indicator is substantially aligned with a surface and/or meniscus of the additive and (2) place the second indicator in a second position along the length of the sample reservoir such that the second indicator is substantially aligned with a predetermined fill volume when bodily fluid is transferred to the inner volume.
